Because sometimes you just have to find out.

Sometimes you just got to know.

This is not the poop knife I was expecting

Scissors are more practical in any case.

In conclusion, the results support the hypothesis that fecal knives are usually shitty knives

-- the paper, probably

I have accidentally picked up a dried cat turd when younger, thinking it was rock. It was a bit fragile, easily break into dust. I realized it because it was not as heavy as an actual rock of the same size.

Based on that, my unscientific conclusion is that even if it's frozen, it'll be hard to shape and easily breaks because it behaves more like dust/sand instead of cream.

The alleged knife would be frozen, not dried. It would be much like the ice he was enclosed in

Use urine instead. Make an ice pee-k.

I make it into a iurine-ice-bullet.. untraceable

I like that it took 7 researchers to do this study. It shows commitment to the cause.

[–] fossilesque@mander.xyz 9 points 2 months ago

I don't think that this is the type of project you can go in "half-assed." You need both cheeks for this.

[–] veroxii@aussie.zone 5 points 2 months ago

Might as well get paid grant money for poop time.

Or too much. Exactly my thought

I never thought I would say this but this time science is wrong

It has to work... It has to...
